Lodge + Dine announces a 4-star rating for The Roundtree after a three day’s visit evaluating the guest experience. The hotel distinguished itself through its tranquil Hamptons setting, close access to the Atlantic beach, and attentive hospitality.
Tucked between Amagansett’s rolling farmland and the white shores of the Atlantic, The Roundtree welcomes guests with a quiet elegance that captures the spirit of the Hamptons. The arrival experience feels intimate rather than grand—fresh sea air mingles with the scent of wild grass, and the soft rustle of trees accompanies a warm, genuine greeting. Within moments, guests sense they’ve stepped into a sanctuary designed for rest and renewal, just a short walk from the village center and a breezy bike ride from Indian Wells Beach.
The property’s design mirrors its surroundings—minimalist yet inviting. The architecture blends rustic charm with coastal sophistication, creating an atmosphere that’s both relaxed and stylish. A sprawling lawn stretches behind the establishment, framed by comfortable seating that invites unhurried afternoons under the sun. It’s easy to imagine travelers lingering here with a book or enjoying the golden-hour calm before an evening in town. The setting alone speaks volumes about the hotel’s understated luxury—less about opulence, more about ease and authenticity.
Accommodations serve as quiet sanctuaries. The rooms, while cozy, offer a sense of calm through their clean design and modern touches. Beds are plush, linens crisp, and bathrooms feature walk-in rain showers that elevate simple rituals into moments of indulgence. Though some may find the space a bit confined and the lighting in the main area could be more generous, the overall experience remains one of comfort and thoughtful simplicity. Guests appreciate the privacy of individual entrances, as well as small but meaningful details—minibars, tea and coffee makers, and carefully selected amenities that enhance relaxation after a day of seaside exploration.
Though the hotel does not feature a full restaurant, mornings begin on a pleasant note with a well-prepared breakfast that reflects the establishment’s emphasis on quality over excess. Beyond its charming in-room comforts, guests can take advantage of bicycles for leisurely rides, a spa for restorative treatments, and nearby beaches ideal for sunseekers and surfers alike. Those seeking adventure will find no shortage of options, from sailing and horseback riding to tennis and golf. The Hamptons lifestyle—active yet unhurried—unfolds naturally from this location.
Equally noteworthy is the staff, whose warmth and attentiveness shape the experience as much as the setting itself. Every interaction feels sincere, with smiles that seem to come as naturally as the ocean breeze. Whether assisting with local recommendations or ensuring a smooth check-in, the team’s hospitality leaves an impression that lingers beyond checkout.
The Roundtree embodies a blend of simplicity and sophistication, a peaceful haven for couples seeking romance, creatives craving inspiration, or city dwellers yearning for calm. Its beauty lies not in grandeur but in grace, offering guests a refined Hamptons experience that feels personal, authentic, and undeniably restorative.
